We are hosting a free GIS user group this Thursday, September 28th from 11 am to 1 pm (lunch provided)!

Where:

Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. – Waukesha

Conference Center

W233 N2080 Ridgeview Parkway

Waukesha, WI 53188

This user session will take place in an interactive and informal atmosphere. It is a great way to stay updated with the latest GIS tips and tools. You will be spending time with our GIS staff technicians, who are always ready to answer any questions you may have about your applications. The user session being offered is also a fun way to collaborate with your local neighboring communities.

We will be explaining SEWRPC’s plan to convert from NAD 27 to NAD 83 and how this change may affect you.

Additionally, there are two guest speakers lined up for the event.

Our first guest from Mukwonago plans to discuss how they have collected data for their GIS by doing their own surverying, and how they have been sharing that data across various departments within their municipality.

Our second guest from Fox Point will be discussing document management.

So here’s the deal. It’s construction season. You’re busy. I’m busy. We’ll keep this short and to the point. Well, several points. Bullet-points. Maybe we’ll talk about food too. Because I’m not only busy, but also hungry.

GIS User Group

You’re invited!

In Milwaukee, Global Water Center Atrium (R/M Milwaukee location)

Next Wednesday May 24th 11am to 1pm

It’s next-door to Purple Door Ice Cream

Purple Door Ice Cream is dangerously delicious

Oh, we give you food. Not Purple Door, but lunch food

We’re going to talk about tree canopy analysis

And what features are coming through the pipeline

We’ll also work with you to see if GIS can help with your current workload

Our Thursday posts are all about showing our readers what’s happening in the GIS world. From the path Santa takes on Christmas Eve to how GIS is used for green initiatives, we try and cover the best and brightest in the GIS world. With that in mind, today’s post is focusing on the absolute pinnacle of GIS news – next week’s GIS User Group!

That’s right! R/M is hosting another coveted GIS User Group next week, Tuesday (3/21), from 11am-1pm in DeForest. We like to move our User Group location around between our different areas so all of our clients can have the opportunity to attend a Group that’s close to home.

We’ll be going over upcoming updates, some tips and techniques, and then opening the floor for any an all questions you may have about your GIS application. And, of course, lunch will be provided. If you’re interested in attending, or just interested in getting a free lunch, just send an email to Amyto RSVP!

Remember a couple of weeks ago when our #TipTuesday post talked about our upcoming GIS User Group? That was yesterday! As you’ll recall, GIS User Groups are a great way to pick up tips and tricks of using your GIS system as well as learn about the upcoming latest and greatest! We had about 30 users show up for yesterday’s User Group, which meant a bunch of collaboration, tech jokes, and fun with our GIS staff!

If you weren’t able to make yesterday’s group, don’t worry! Our next GIS User Group will be held in Madison on March 22nd – we hope to see you there!

Let me set the scene for you: it’s Tuesday, one of your top 5 favorite week-days. You’re looking at a glowing screen reading your cherished blog – naturally, it’s GIS themed. Usually you like to take a quick peek and see if there are any useful tips, but today you notice that the author is drolling on longer than usual with his self-referential blogging nonsense.

“There’s no tip here!” you exclaim to yourself quietly while taking a few reassuring breaths.

Feeling cheated out of a tip, you work out (using not-so-subtle clues) that there’s a GIS User Group session in Ruekert & Mielke Inc.’s Waukesha office next week on January 25th 2017 from 11:00am to 1:00pm where you can get some tips in person!

Not wanting to miss out on the free lunch provided and a chance to confront Bronson about this confounding invitation to a user group, you quickly email Co-Blogger Alesha to RSVP.

Noticing the blog post is nearing an end, your thoughts return to the regular bustle of your day; but with a new networking and learning event to look forward to.

In all seriousness, thanks for reading, and I look forward to seeing you at our GIS User Group next week!

Thanks to everyone who came to our GIS User Group yesterday. We had representatives from Greenfield, Oconomowoc, Slinger, Hartland, Grafton, Wauwatosa, Mukwonago, Fox Point, Whitefish Bay, Thiensville and Germantown.

The User Group was a great opportunity to learn about the latest HTML5 release, the concept of Citizen Service Requests and how to best use GIS on mobile devices. The GIS reps present were able to get specific questions answered about the ways that their municipalities use GIS and the tools that give them the most value.

Our User Groups are designed to be open-forum, with lots of questions and answers being tossed around. It’s our hope to have many more in the future in our different branch offices (Madison, Global Water Center, Itasca and Kenosha.) Future user groups will be posted on our Facebook page as well as here on our blog.

Our next seminar will be on October 22nd, entitled “Mapping Out Your GIS Plan for the Future.” We hope to see you there!
